Coats for Kids

When families struggle to clothe their children with warm coats in the winter, Knights of Columbus councils help meet this basic need with the Coats for Kids program. As part of the Neighbours Helping Neighbours initiative that resulted from a Knights of Columbus-sponsored summit held in New York City, Coats for Kids allows councils across North America to purchase new winter coats for children at a discount and to distribute them to children in need in their local communities.

Since the program’s launching in 2009, nearly 500,000 coats have been distributed in 49 states and across Canada. In winter 2017 alone, the Knights of Columbus distributed 105,192 coats in 1,600 communities throughout the U.S. and Canada, including events at military bases, in Native American communities, at inner-city neighbourhoods and through partnerships with local police and fire departments.

Donation Suggestions:

• $30.00/coat
• $345.00 box of 12 coats

The Knights of Columbus will be in the Blessed Trinity foyer before and after all Masses on the weekend of October 12th and October 19th. 

Cheques can be made payable to Knights of Columbus Council #11681.

E-transfers can be made to kofcbt11681@gmail.com.  The security question should be:  What is our KofC council number? Answer: BT11681

All donation amounts are appreciated!

 100% of your donation will go toward the purchase of new coats for children in the Greater Toronto Area.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
